Location

FEE first occupied "two rooms in the Equitable Building at 737 Seventh Avenue in Manhattan" in 1946.[25] Soon after, the organization moved to the mansion on the Hillside estate in Irvington, New York, which Read purchased from Gordon Harris, a son of the president of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. The Foundation would remain there for 68 years.[26] In 2014, FEE sold its Irvington headquarters as a part of the transfer of operations to Atlanta, Georgia.[27]

FEE publishes books, articles, and pamphlets both on paper and digitally that the foundation considers classic works on liberty.[49] These include the notable publications I, Pencil: My Family Tree by Read,[50]The Law by Bastiat,[51]Anything That's Peaceful by Read,[52]Planned Chaos by Mises,[53]Industry-Wide Bargaining by Wolman,[54]Up from Poverty: Reflections on the Ills of Public Assistance by Sennholz,[55] and The Virtue of Liberty by Machan.[56]
